Referring to the Grand Tour era, these three graceful gems are combined in a setting that enhances their similarity. Probably this composition, perfectly symmetrical and balanced, symbolizes the family, with both parents surrounding the daughter (in the center of the set).
On the left: bust of Zeus. Central: female bust. On the right: bust of Hera.
Slightly wear marks.
